My daily cultivation progress is calculated.

Chapter 44 Apology! "Iron Shirt"! Trouble in the Heavenly Prison!

Shen Rong was getting impatient.

He realized that Tieyi was pretending to be stupid and didn't want to argue any further.

He said directly, "Stop pretending to be stupid. I'm giving you two choices."

"First, you take my palm strike, and whatever you do afterward, we'll call it even. Second, you bring out the Iron Shirt martial arts manual and the accompanying prescription to apologize to my brother."

After saying that, Shen Rong turned to Shen Yan and asked, "Shen Yan, are you satisfied with these two proposals? If you have any other requests, please feel free to make them."

Shen Yan quickly shook his head, seemingly not expecting Shen Rong to be so tough, and feeling that he had underestimated Shen Rong.

Tieyi looked grim; he didn't want to agree to either of these conditions.

Shen Yan may not understand Shen Rong's strength, but surely Tie Yi does?

Shen Rong was once known as the "Death-Taking Hand," possessing exceptional palm techniques. He was a fifth-rank martial artist many years ago, but hadn't made a move in a long time. No one knows how much his strength has improved over the years.

Ironclad was only a peak sixth-rank martial artist. Although he was an external martial artist, he was not confident that he could withstand a single palm strike from Shen Rong.

The fact that Shen Rong could state this condition shows that he is very confident in himself.

Shen Rong saw Tie Yi's face turn pale and then red, and he was wavering.

"I'll count to ten. If you still can't make up your mind, I'll help you."

"Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yan felt a sharp energy around him; it was Shen Rong circulating his internal energy.

Upon seeing this, Tieyi immediately shouted, "I choose two! I choose two!"

"I'm willing to hand over the Iron Shirt Technique manual; I'll go get it right now."

Shen Rong immediately suppressed his aura, stood still, and returned to normal.

He went back to his harmless appearance.

Tieyi quickly produced a leather document containing the "Iron Shirt" technique, along with a yellowed book containing medicinal bath recipes for each realm breakthrough.

Shen Rong took it and glanced at it, but found nothing wrong with it, so he handed it directly to Shen Yan.

Holding the inkstone in his hand, Shen Yan felt a sense of unreality, as if it were all a dream.

Yesterday he was racking his brains trying to join the Ironclad Hall, but now he's even gotten his hands on someone else's sect's signature martial arts technique.

He sighed inwardly, "Sure enough, it's much easier to get in by force than by taking the exam."

Shen Rong gave Tie Yi a cold glance.

"Let this matter rest. I don't want it to happen again, otherwise there would be no Iron Armor Hall or the Iron Family in Bianjing."

After saying that, he led Shen Yan and the others away.

This was the first time Shen Yan had felt the power of a clan. He understood that in Bianjing, one needed a strong foundation to gain a foothold.

Tieyi watched them leave, his face flushed. He couldn't remember the last time he had been treated like this.

Looking at the disciples still standing there, he yelled, "What are you looking at? Get back to work!"

……

……

on the way back.

Shen Yan said to Shen Rong with a very solemn expression, "Thank you very much for your help this time, Brother Rong. If you need my help in the future, please just let me know."

Upon hearing this, Shen Rong smiled faintly.

"We're all brothers, no need for such formalities. To gain a foothold in Bianjing, we must unite. If you're in trouble, how could we, as members of the Shen clan, not lend a hand? Remember, our greatest support is always the Duke. I dare to act this way today because of the Duke's influence."

Shen Yan nodded, indicating his agreement.

"No matter what, thank you very much, Brother Rong. I will always remember this kindness."

Shen Rong laughed twice and patted him on the shoulder.

The two parted ways not long after.

Shen Yan held the leather in his hand, still unable to believe it was real.

"It's like a dream. Something I've always longed for has come so easily to me."

After carefully storing the cultivation manual, he didn't go home, but went directly to the Heavenly Prison to take up his post.

……

……

The Duke's Mansion, Shen Ci's study.

Shen Ci was sitting at his desk reading a book when he heard a knock on the door.

"Young master, I have something to report."

"Come in!"

The person who came was Shen Rong. After parting ways with Shen Yan, he returned to the Duke's mansion to find the second young master.

He recounted in detail what had happened at Shen Yan's house the previous night.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci's expression shifted slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

"You're saying he killed a peak seventh-rank martial artist, and that he himself has also broken through to the seventh rank?"

Shen Rong nodded.

Shen Ci frowned slightly, as if deep in thought.

"I didn't expect Shen Yan to be such a martial arts prodigy. As for his personal destiny, there's no need to delve into it. Everyone has their own secrets, and they'll naturally tell you when they want to."

"Yes, young master."

Shen Rong then told Shen Ci about what happened this morning.

Shen Ci nodded gently and said softly.

"Since Shen Yan isn't going to say anything, then let's leave it at that! It's a bit too easy on them."

"Sigh! The Shen family has been dormant for too long, so long that even this kind of scum dares to ignore us! If there are any more people like this next time, just kill them!"

……

……

Heaven Prison.

When Shen Yan arrived at the prison, everything seemed normal. It appeared that the events of the past two days had not reached the prison.

That makes sense, as the Ironclad Hall also cares about its reputation and would naturally not spread the news of its humiliation. They would even order those who witnessed it to keep quiet.

The Duke's mansion would never bother with such a trivial matter, so the people in the prison were unaware that Shen Yan's strength had improved once again.

I had just arrived at the cell, not long ago.

Then Huang Sixi ran in.

"Boss Shen, something terrible has happened! Liu Zhixie of the White Lotus Sect has been poisoned."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan's expression changed drastically.

"Poisoning? How could you be poisoned?"

"This was only discovered this morning, and we are asking Dr. Li to treat it."

Huang Sixi's words were filled with panic, as Liu Zhixie was under his jurisdiction.

quickly,

Two more people rushed in, looking flustered. They were Zhang Dashan and Liu Afu.

All three guards of cell A were present.

Seeing the two looking flustered, Shen Yan frowned slightly and asked.

"Could it be that Qin Tieyi and Han Shantong have also been poisoned?"

The two looked surprised, then said in unison.

"Shen Tou, you really are a prophet."

Enraged, Shen Yan immediately started cursing.

"What a load of rubbish! How could you three be so incompetent as to get poisoned? Why weren't you poisoned? I think the ones who should have been poisoned the most are you three idiots."

He never expected that such a major event would occur in just one day since he had been away from the prison.

Feeling extremely annoyed, he thought to himself, "Why does trouble always happen the moment I'm not in the Heavenly Prison?"

The simultaneous poisoning of three high-profile criminals is definitely not a simple matter.

The ability to poison different prisoners in three cells simultaneously is not something an ordinary person could do.

The ability to poison three people simultaneously cannot be attributed to a single individual; there must be a force secretly manipulating the situation.

It must be the work of some powerful force or influential person. They don't care about the lives of the prison guards in Prison A at all.

The three of them looked grim, their faces filled with grief, as they gazed at Shen Yan with hopeful eyes.

Shen Yan saw their concerns and sighed softly.

"Huang Sixi, go and report this to the prison warden! You two come with me to see how they are doing now."
